A practitioner asks: can you sketch on a computer?
Article Abstract:
Software packages developed for the design industry allow designers to sketch designs and manipulate images more quickly than before. Computers reverse the speed of the creative process in that the initial input for the design becomes slower, but manipulating it to produce the desired object is much faster. Although older designers may have a more difficult time in adapting to the new system, many younger designers who are already familiar with computers will readily accept it. Applications to which the computer is most suited include merchandising and interface design.

Post-material product
Article Abstract:
The traditionally trained industrial designer is being replaced by a programmer in the post-material 90's. Many products have no physical parts to be created because digital technology on a computer creates virtual objects which perform the functions of real objects. The software calculator exists as a program replacing the plastic model in a computer's memory. The post material designer's work is to analyze form, process thoughts and design for communication and material productions.

Where does CAID fit in?
Article Abstract:
Computer-Aided Industrial Design (CAID) quickens the designing process and helps designers and clients to make correct evaluations of proposed products. CAID allows swift manipulation of a concept once an idea has been formed, and can simulate the creation and movement of working parts for each model. Production drawings can be executed directly in CAID with the same the data used in the design stage of traditional industrial drawing.
